Israels premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahu anklagade Irans nye högste ledare Mojtaba Khamenei för att ha beordrat utveckling av kärnvapen och krävde att den iranska regimen störtas. Enligt Netanyahu följer Khamenei i sin fars fotspår och Iran försöker återigen utveckla atombomber. Han uppgav att han har instruerat Israels militär, Mossad och säkerhetstjänsterna att arbeta för att störta den iranska regimen, vilket han beskrev som det enda sättet att undanröja hotet för gott.
Middle East oil flows averaged more than 24 million barrels in 24 hours (BPD) in the week through October 18th, above the prewar average of 23.3 million BPD, according to Kpler ship tracking data reported by The Wall Street Journal. To accomplish this, tankers load inside the Persian Gulf and run through the Strait of Hormuz, often with their automatic identification system (AIS) off and under U.S. air cover along Oman's coast, then transfer cargo to other ships near Oman before returning. That route moved about 14 million barrels a day, or 82% of prewar levels, in preliminary figures. Pipelines across Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other alternative routes carry the rest of the regional total, or up to 10 million BPD. Kpler estimates about 40% of non Iranian Gulf crude oil bypassed the strait in September, up from 17% before the war. The Journal counts about 30 attacks on ships this month. Brent crude was around $108 a barrel yesterday
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a report on an attack on a tanker approximately 30 nautical miles southeast of Al Faw, Iraq, in the northern part of the Persian Gulf. According to the vessel's master, the tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile at approximately 1830 UTC yesterday. The crew is reported to be safe, and no damage or environmental impact has been reported. A similar incident occurred on September 9th in the same area. Earlier this week, UKMTO acknowledged difficulties in reporting the true number of attacks, as most targeted vessels are refusing to provide information, likely in accordance with U.S. guidance. Attacks attributed to Iran, which have increased in frequency and range in recent weeks, have now targeted tankers north of Qatar and off Saudi Arabia's Al Jubayl
